A web-based genotyping resource for viral sequences
What you can do:
Identify the genotype of a viral sequence.
Highlights:
- This is a web-based program that identifies the genotype (or subtype) of recombinant or non-recombinant viral nucleotide sequences.
- It works by using BLAST to compare a query sequence to a set of reference sequences for known genotypes.
- Predefined reference genotypes exist for three major viral pathogens: human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV). User-defined reference sequences can be used at the same time.
- The query sequence is broken into segments for comparison to the reference so that the mosaic organization of recombinant sequences could be revealed. The results are displayed graphically using color-coded genotypes.
